World Bank Lowers Its Forecast for Growth in China

The world bank lowered the forecast for economic growth for China. It predicted a growth of 7.5 but now has said 6.5. Both of these predictions are lower than China's own prediction of 8. The article goes on to explain some see this as ok because China's predictions and possible outcomes are not as bad as other countries.
